About this book

This biographical and critical study of Tennyson has a threefold purpose: to show what went to the making of Tennyson the man; to establish the power, subtlety and variety of his poems, along with the artistic principles and preoccupations which shaped his life's work; and to suggest the relationships between the man and the poet.
